197. Carduelis carduelis. European Goldfinch. — "A male Euro- 
pean Goldfinch was collected May 21, 1887, by Mr. Daniel S. Cox, about a. 
mile north of the city limits — one out of four — while resting on the top 
of a beech tree. The remaining three flew off in a northerly direction. 
The birds were evidently in a natural condition and doubtless from the= 
New York colony.” (William Brodie. 3 ) 3 Auk, y, isss, 211 .
